Lauderdale named the same side that smashed Launceston at Windsor Park last Saturday, and to its squad added 16-year-old half-forward Ben McGuinness and midfielder Nick Burk for what would be their debuts, and key defender Adam Duggan for what would be his first game since knee surgery in October.

“We’re waiting on a couple of injuries and to see how they get through training before we settle on the final make-up of the side,” said Lauderdale coach Darren Winter.

Launceston was dealt a double-blow heading into its clash with Clarence at Blundstone Arena, losing last year’s playing coach Brennan Savage and gun midfielder Beau Green a week after playing his 250th game for the Blues.

Sitting undefeated at the top of the ladder, the Roos regained electric half-back Jordan Roberts from a one-match lay-off for a shoulder injury.

The Tigers named full-back Daniel Golding at centre half-forward for his first game back from an ankle injury for its match against Burnie Dockers at the Twin Ovals.

Tigers midfielder Stuart Donnelly will find out the extent of his knee injury today, which could keep him sidelined until late next month.

The Dockers arrive in Hobart tonight to avoid match day dramas that effected Glenorchy on their journey to West Park last Saturday, like the bus breaking down causing the game to be delayed by two hours.

Hobart City has its first road trip, heading to Devonport Oval where the northern Magpies will be trying to bring up three wins in a row for the first time since round eight to 10 in 2010.

Among the players added to City’s squad were elusive forward Max Catchpool and young gun Jack McCulloch for what would be his senior debut.

Western Storm will debut South Launceston premiership ruckman Cody Thorp after suspension from last year’s grand final for its cross-town clash with North Launceston, which regained veteran onballer Alan O’Sign.
